HNOPS03-BP01 Monitor hybrid networking components
Monitoring solutions serve as an essential tool to provide visibility across your hybrid network infrastructure. It enables collection, visualization, and analysis of metrics from network connectivity components like virtual private networks, dedicated connections, and network transit hubs, allowing teams to set alarms for performance thresholds and detect anomalies before they impact connectivity.
Desired outcome:
-
Quickly identified and address performance issues, security anomalies, and connectivity problems
-
Improved network reliability, optimized resource utilization, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Get real-time visibility into network performance, enabling quick detection and resolution of issues.
-
Customizable alerts and automated responses to predefined conditions.
-
Support capacity planning and resource optimization by providing historical data and trends.
Implementation guidance:
-
Identify critical hybrid networking components that require monitoring. Determine key metrics and thresholds relevant to each component.
-
Configure dashboards, alarms, and automated actions using services such as Amazon CloudWatch
-
Integrate automated notification and remediation to alarms using services such as Amazon SNS and AWS Lambda
